Speakerphone is a convenient way to talk on your iPhone without needing to hold the device to your head.
Whether you are typing on a computer or performing a task that requires both hands, being able to simply speak out loud and both have your conversation be heard and hear the person on the other end of the line can be very beneficial.
If you find that you are answering all of your calls and then immediately switching over to speakerphone, then you can save yourself some time by simply configuring the iPhone to automatically answer any incoming call in speakerphone mode.
